  1. Can anyone give me some feedback on the Cannondale Bent I? I
    have owned Cannondale bikes in the past and like the quality
    and big tube look. The terrain is almost flat where we live
    so no major climbing will be done. Thanks for any info.

  2. I rode it. The Cannondale Recumbent I rides very nicely,
    but I feel that it is way overpriced for what it offers.
    You should be able to get a deal on a leftover if you
    can find one.

    For the CLWB style of recumbent, I'd get an EZ-1 Lite. It's
    less than 1/2 the price.

    The C'dale had a very nice review in Recumbent Cyclist news.

    The HP Velotechnik Spirit is a less expensive but otherwise
    comparable bike to the Cannondale. <hpvelotechni-hpvelotechni-

  4. Mike,

    I've ridden almost every CLWB out there and can say that the
    Cannondale is definately the nicest of them all...IMHO of
    course! You get what you pay for. Most of the other CLWB's
    are manufactured overseas which explains why most of them
    are lower priced while the C'Dale is made here in the good
    'ol US of A.

    If price is a consideration, let's not forget that C'Dale
    recently introduced a lower spec'ed version that I believe
    sells for under $1,400.00.

    It all boils down to what you feel works best for you. The
    wrong bike is the wrong bike even if you got it for "a song"
    or paid a "king's ransom".
